I recently worked with a client that sells laser cut wood crafts geared toward the Christian audience
He had a eCommerce store on Bigcommerce that he is paying $28/mo. for and was not even making enough sales to cover that amount. We have developed a plan that first of all is going to brand ‘The Word in Wood’ on a mobile site. Since he does events we are going to have his smart phone enabled with the new Pay Pal Here so he can take debit and credit cards on the spot wherever he happens to be selling his items.

Ways to get some media attention
You may have heard of this before, but if you haven’t signed up (it’s free!) you should do so right now! It’s called Help A Reporter Out (HARO – Help a Reporter Out ™) or HARO for short. Basically it is an e-mail list that goes out 3 times a day to connect reporters who are looking for help with a story to sources who can help the reporter out. You get a brief description of what the reporter is looking for and if it relates to your business in anyway, you can respond as an expert and get quoted in their article. If you end up getting quoted in the article, you can post it on your website, Facebook, Twitter, etc… to help give you credibility when potential clients are looking into working with you. Even better, if you have clients who could provide advice to a reporter seeking help, you can help connect your clients with the reporter. Your clients will absolutely LOVE you for this and it will further deepen your relationship to be able to sell them on other services in the future. Here’s a few more sites that allow experts and journalists to connect:
